David BlumeMy wife and I watched The Cabin in the Woods last night. We got some laughs out of it. But there's this one scene that I had just played through in Half Life 2. The one where you enter the large lab room with all the Xen aliens locked away in adjacent cells, and you're pursued by the Combine soldiers. You get to lock yourself into a small control room, and release the Xen when the soldiers enter the room, and watch the fun and carnage safely behind the protective shield.
I can't believe that I can't find anybody else noting that particular similarity. It was fun. (I also loved many of the other homages. But there aren't many Google search hits for "Cabin in the Woods" and "Half-life 2", and there should be.)
